He said that his ministry is currently studying the idea that Jordan will study the idea of organizing an Arab regional tourism exhibition, noting that it was agreed with Syria and Lebanon to prepare a common map for tourism sites in the three states and to organize joint tripartite exhibitions as well as to unify efforts to take part in international tourism activities, festival and conferences.
